400 free heavy metal guitar samples

What if you never got round to buying (and learning to play) that first real six-string? Don't worry - SampleRadar is here to meet your riff (and other) requirements, bringing you a mighty collection of royalty-free heavy metal guitar sounds.

What you need to know

The samples are split into three folders: Guitar A; Guitar B; and Guitar C. Each of these contains riffs, chugs, power chords and more.

All the samples are supplied as 24-bit WAV files so can be imported directly into your DAW or sampler of choice. Because they're royalty-free, you're welcome to use them in your music in any way you like - all we ask is that you don't re-distribute them.

The heavy metal samples are supplied in a zip file, so you'll need to extract them before you can see them. Enjoy!
